    If its cold enough that you need a jacket or fleece then you shouldn't be wearing shorts.
    You've never gone out in shirts on a cold morning where you know it'll get nice and warm after a bit? I'd rather look like a tool in jacket and shirts for an hour or two in the morning than needlessly wear pants on a sunny day.

    This is an important debate. Let's jack this thread
    The souwf agrees. 30 degree swings in a day warrant shorts, flip flops, and zip up hoodie. Then unzip and roll the sleeves during the afternoon as temp increases and then take sleeves down and put hood back on for the afternoon hurricane.
    No, just no.

    Flip flops are not acceptable for adults anywhere except the beach.
    I don't wear flip flops as they're not supportive or sturdy enough on the feet for the things I do. I allow myself one new pair of the basic Crocs (for lounging about the house/yard or a quick run to the store) and one new pair of soakable sandals (for basically everything else) every year. My feet get pretty hammered and torn up but I consider it an acceptable tradeoff for the comfort.
    Wearing crocs is like getting blown by a dude. You look down and realize you’re gay.
    Meh whatever. They slip on and off quick, stay on, and are comfortable as fuck. I can't see a downside. I don't wear them for their looks.

    You forgot the "it may feel good..." part

    Spoken like somebody who has never lived in the humidity of the south.

    I hated flip flops (my parents called them "thongs" growing up so that didn't help), literally hated how they felt on my feet, hated how they looked, hated everything about them. But about six or seven years into living in humidity I learned to wear them, and now I swear by them in the summer. May to September when I'm not at work I'm probably wearing them 81% of the time. As is literally everyone else down here.

    It's a different world.
    #MeToo

    I wear them almost exclusively from June to late September.

    What time did Rrap run last year at the "combine" day?

    No, I don't wear shorts unless I am doing an athletic activity.

    I recognize not everyone will agree with that but everyone should go to a t-shirt way before they go to shorts. Comfortable pants + nice t-shirt = acceptable in most contexts.

    Also it was like 65 and partly cloudy in Seattle today. Does that qualify under your hypothetical?
    No one is going to take fashion advice from a troll.
